Why Choose Our EFAW Course?

Our Emergency First Aid at Work course is designed to give delegates the confidence and competence to deal with a range of workplace emergencies. Delivered by experienced, registered healthcare professionals, this course combines engaging theory with extensive hands-on practical sessions.

Unlike many providers, we keep our class sizes small (maximum 12 delegates) to ensure everyone receives individual attention and ample opportunity to practise life-saving techniques on our professional training manikins and AED trainers.

What You'll Learn

This course covers the essential skills every workplace first aider needs. You'll learn how to assess an emergency scene, call for appropriate help, perform CPR on adults, use an automated external defibrillator (AED), manage choking, control severe bleeding, treat burns and scalds, and recognise the signs of shock, stroke, and other medical emergencies.

Assessment & Certification

Assessment is continuous throughout the day, based on practical demonstrations and a short multiple-choice questionnaire. There is no written exam. Upon successful completion, delegates receive a Qualsafe Awards Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) certificate, valid for 3 years. This qualification is regulated by Ofqual and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

In-House Training Available

We can deliver this course at your premises anywhere across Cheshire and the North West. In-house training allows us to tailor scenarios to your specific workplace environment and incorporate your organisation's policies and procedures. Contact us for a bespoke quote for groups of 6-12 delegates.
